Kañcanadevī2

Person

提婆弗多國王之女,誕生時天降珠寶、身放光明;據傳她前生在一次法會上因堅守德行不為所動,降服了一位對她心生愛慕的龍王。

Daughter of the king of Devaputta.

On the day of her birth jewels fell from the sky and her body was so bright that no lamps were needed when she was by. She entered the Order when she grew up and became an Arahant.

In her past birth, when she was listening to a discourse at the end of celebrations held at Devaputta in honour of the Bowl Relic, a Nāga king fell in love with her. When she refused his attentions, the Nāga wrapt her body with his coils, but she continued to listen unmoved. By power of her virtue the Nāga was subdued, and he paid her great honour by means of an Udakapūjā. Ras.i.34 f.
